--- On Sat, 8/2/08, Craig Jungers <crjungers_at_gmail.com> wrote Last night I almost got myself into serious trouble within 100 feet of my own dock. Here's the story. ...snip ... It is at this point i mention the book i'm reading by Laurence Gonzales, Deep Suirvival. Yes he does speak of kayak, rafting, mountaineering (Mt Hood et al). Places near and dear to me and others. The book examines and discusses accidents: how and why insightfully. The discussion has confirmed many of my gut reactions. And does mention "if something does not feel right" situations. Recommend the book for all you adventures...may be even more important as i (we) mature, hopefully with out incident. It has been an enjoyable read and a reminder "it will happen" just make sure it isn't you. Glad you came out of it alright Craig. Well wishes, safe and happy paddling.
